3) Running automake... scripts/Makefile.am:76: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension
This was introduced when the scripts Makefile.am was tweaked to insert the install prefix into various scripts. IMHO, inserting gnu make-specific extensions into Makefile.am is not OK. There are some systems where "make" is not GNU make, and until this change it was possible to build Xastir without GNU make. (Mine is one of those systems).
I was specifically thinking of systems like Solaris and HP/UX. FreeBSD hadn't crossed my mind. OSX may be similar in this respect. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
